efficacy of short wave diathermy in ulnar nerve entrapment on the elbow
ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE: Efficacy of short wave diathermy (SWD) in the treatment of ulnar nerve entrapment at the elbow (UNE).
MATERIALS AND METHODS: 61 adult patients, who had been diagnosed with UNE clinically and
Lymphedema is a condition afflicting cancer patients who undergo surgery with removal of lymph nodes, chemotherapy and radiation. Lymphedema is a consequence of impaired lymphatic drainage in the interstitium, which causes edema and inflammation in the subcutaneous tissue. The symptoms are swelling,
This study will assess the treatment impact of complete decongestive therapy (CDT) in conjunction with negative pressure application using PhysioTouch (R) in women with lipedema or secondary lymphedema. Lipedema is an adipose tissue disorder in which persons experience pain and swelling in their
In this study, 304 eligible patients will be randomized 1:1 to a 12-week exercise intervention program versus observation, and stratified by two factors: received adjuvant chemotherapy versus not, and age<50 versus age ≥50 years.
Breast cancer and its treatment can have both physical and
Breast cancer survivors are at risk of complications of breast cancer-related lymphedema (BCRL) after surgical treatments, which may negatively effect on the quality of life of breast cancer survivors. Lymphedema has been clinically diagnosed by determining that a limb is in fact swollen, and has
The clinical assessments included in both stages of the study will identify the presence and severity of swelling in each of the affected areas. Each assessment will consist of a clinical examination of the patient's legs and abdomen to look for swelling and changes in the skin associated with
Lipedema
According to an epidemiological study by Földi E and Földi M, lipedema affects 11% of the female population. Rarely, men with hypogonadism, growth hormone deficiency, or liver disease may develop lipedema. Drs. Allen and Hines from the Mayo clinic defined lipedema in 1940 and shortly
Chronic lower limb oedema is the consequence of an abnormal accumulation of fluid in the interstitium located beneath the skin of legs. It is a frequent disease with a significant morbidity (skin infections, leg ulcers…), which can deeply alter patient's quality of life.
On a pathological point of
Lipedema is a syndrome of painful fatty enlargement of the buttocks, hips and thighs primarily in women which cannot be lost by diet, exercise or bariatric surgery. Arms are affected in 80% of women with lipedema to varying degrees. The etiology of lipedema is not known and there are no
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- To determine the feasibility of a 12-month community-based combined physical activity and dietary change weight-loss intervention in overweight and sedentary female breast and colorectal cancer survivors recruited via the Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG).
- To estimate the
Breast cancer related lymphedema occurs in 20-30% of survivors. Weight loss could prevent onset. We seek to do a pilot study to establish feasibility of 1) recruiting survivors at risk for lymphedema to do a weight loss intervention, 2) achieving 10-15% weight loss over 26 weeks in this population,
Accurate blood pressure (BP) measurement is required to provide appropriate healthcare. Inaccurate BPs may lead to under and/or over-treatment of health conditions and medical diseases such as hypertension. Blood pressure (BP) measurement using automatic, non-invasive oscillometric monitors is
